FBI Denies It Held iPhone UDIDs Stolen By AntiSec

Posted by Unknown on from the it-was-actually-the-nsa dept.

judgecorp writes "The FBI has denied the UDID codes released yesterday came from an agent's laptop, as claimed by the AntiSec hacker group. The FBI says it does not hold such data, and the attack never happened. However, the agent named by AntiSec is real, and some of the published UDID codes have been found to be genuine. So where did they come from?"

    The FBI... What, does anybody expect them to admit it?

    From TFA: "At this time there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data"

    Saying there's no evidence isn't the same as saying it didn't happen.

    Exactly. Anonymous and Antisec have seemingly been completely honest in the past, when it comes to claiming responsibility for hacks. The FBI is known to lie and cover up. Given past experience, Antisec is more likely to be telling the truth.
